If the discontinued it, there would be a MASSIVE run on the processors because people will realize what Intel may be trying to do: discontinue the 920 due to the fact that the higher-end i5 processors may perform similarly yet will be priced higher.

Ah, I didn't know the i5s would pass entry i7 cost. I thought that the i5 was supposed to replace the Q9s and maybe the Q8s later on.

Was browsing forums to try to find a date for i7 discontinuation and stumbled across this forum. The i5s at top end are said to be of comperable performance to the entry i7s. I disagree, but the top end i5s that are close to the entry i7s in performance will cost more than the 920 does now (currently priced around $289).

Personal opinion, the i5s can't perform up to what a 920 can, especially if you are clocking your cpu. If you are looking to get a new processor, I would suggest you go for the 290 instead of waiting and settling for a higher priced i5
